Filliatreau Saumur-Champigny

From the oldest vines of the domaine, surrounding the quaint village of Chaintres and extending to the neighboring towns of Dampierre sur Loire, Varrains, and Chacé, this remarkable Cabernet Franc emerges. The soil, a blend of clay and limestone, imparts an unexpected softness and velvety texture to this wine, traditionally known for its density. The initial taste reveals ripe cherries and plums, underscored by an earthy, salty minerality and robust tannic presence. This wine combines the sensuality of a rich Pinot Noir with the wild touch of a Mas Amiel from the high altitudes of Roussillon and the biodynamic depth of Foradori's Teroldego. A beautifully accessible, velvety-charming drinking experience.
